Well hello there world!
What an amazing weekend full of fun and projects.
Husband is a lovely man. Can I just say that? I have these crazy random ideas and he just goes with them! Even more impressive when they include a lot of his time in comparison to mine :)
Awhile ago, I was on Pinterest and saw these home made lights. I was not too sure but thought why not! The one I liked was the bottom row, second one in.

Now who knew that you could not find those silly pot racks anywhere these days! Were they just a thing of the past? Who knows. But I couldn't. And I looked everywhere!
So? In true US fashion? Created our own.
Here is our masterpiece!
 |
| Before with the boring builders light and all our supplies! |
 |
| My brand new pretty canning jars! |
 |
| I bought 4 cooling racks from IKEA that we wired together for the base. |
 |
| Light kits from my favorite store! |
 |
| At this point? I had sliced almost all my fingers open screwing these in! |
 |
| We wired it in a pattern and probably 100 times to make sure it would stay! |
 |
| Husband drilled holes in the tops to screw the light kits to. He also drilled about 6 tiny holes for air circulation on the top of each of the jars. |
 |
| Puppy watching |
 |
| My box of finger cutters |
 |
| The start of the installation! And a sneak peak at another project I will post about tomorrow |
 |
| It is done! After we finished deciding where they would go, Husband wired them all together and into the box on the ceiling. This was the most time consuming. |

Can I just say amazing??? We love it. It is so unique and it gives the most amazing romantic mood lighting ever. We attached it to a dimmer switch and it rocks! We love it so much. Makes our house feel kinda unique and a little more us! And what a cheap version of this light! And more modern than some that we saw.
If you want any more pointers on how we did this? Leave a comment!

You guys are superstars! That looks fantastic and I can't wait to hear about whatever project is on that wall behind. You guys serious rock the home projects, I'm a little jealous. I need to be more adventurous I think.
You should be! Just try things! You never know how they will turn out. We are trying to be more adventurous. I have so many crazy projects lined up for this house. Every time I think I can take a break, I come up with something new. Poor Husband. He has requested that I slow down. I think I just need to do more when he is at work :)
